Two Rivers Isle a painful truth.

Commentary about some goddess piqued his interest a little, but he did not ask for details. Faith was a big part of Asa's life before he got here and he knew how personal it could be, and as he did not wish to alienate the woman, he remained silent. But his gaze did flicker with understanding; they spoke of magic, and he had to wonder just what kind of deity the woman chose to worship. Maybe if he had probed a little bit with questions he could discover more.

But the woman asked him a question and that brought a small smile to Asa's face, banishing whatever thoughts had begun to fester in his mind. Sort of. I wasn't born here but its become a home, more or less. That was a great answer, idiot. Very grey. Very non-specific. The man sniffed at the air - trying to detect if this woman was a local or not, rather than ask her the question directly, and then added: I'm on a quest actually. But he didn't elucidate on that topic yet, not wanting to bog her down with the grim details of his life since she was a stranger.
